Japan to build $470M ice wall to prevent nuclear leaks

The Japanese government announced Tuesday that it will spend $470 million on a subterranean ice wall and other steps in a desperate bid to stop leaks of radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant after repeated failures by the plant’s operator.

The decision is widely seen as an attempt to show that the nuclear accident won’t be a safety concern just days before the International Olympic Committee chooses among Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid as the host of the 2020 Olympics.

The Fukushima Dai-ichi plant has been leaking hundreds of tons of contaminated underground water into the sea since shortly after a massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami damaged the complex. Several leaks from tanks storing radioactive water in recent weeks have heightened the sense of crisis that the plant’s owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., isn’t able to contain the problem.

    Although I do not know all the details, sounds like a reasonable plan to me. By the way, I have a degree in Environmental Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Health Physics one from Oak Ridge Associated University.

    And after the next earthquake, when the power goes out AGAIN and the ice machine shuts off, TEPCO’s Plan B is????
